Passengers on the mail coach snatch a quick lunch in a room at the White Horse Cellar (Piccadilly) that opens onto the street where the coach's side is visible. With a coach horn in hand, the guard stands in the center of the room and speaks imperiously to a woman holding a caged parrot. On the left, a man is sipping from a bowl. A man leans against the fire to warm himself, his hat tied. The coachman stands by the entrance. A framed painting of a mail coach hangs above the fireplace, and a model of a horse—the emblem of the well-known coaching inn—is displayed on the chimneypiece. Bm Satires 11698.
